Path Traversal in go.opentelemetry.io/obi (CVE-2026-41433)
Summary
Path traversal in go.opentelemetry.io/obi (CVE-2026-41433). Data can be tampered with by attackers. Exploitable via TMPDIR. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.8.0 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation provides eBPF instrumentation based on the OpenTelemetry standard. From 0.4.0 to before 0.8.0, a flaw in the Java agent injection path allows a local attacker controlling a Java workload to overwrite arbitrary host files when Java injection is enabled and OBI is running with elevated privileges. The injector trusted TMPDIR from the target process and used unsafe file creation semantics, enabling both filesystem boundary escape and symlink-based file clobbering. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.0.
